Strategy formulation is no small matter; it is a matter of life and death.
Should we continue to attack one of the three major tribes to increase our strength? Or directly attack Qiemo?
In the tent, Qin Huaidao was thinking to himself, motionless, and Li Derjian was staring at the map without saying a word. A depressing atmosphere filled the air, heavy, cold, and the fragrant fragrance of mutton could not distract the two of them.
After a while, Qin Huaidao said: "This matter cannot be decided arbitrarily. It must be carefully considered. In this way, it will be decided in three days. In these three days, the staff will come up with a military merit reward and punishment system and promote it throughout the army. This matter is important and cannot be delayed. If there is anything unclear,
You can come to me or find other people to discuss it at any time."
"Okay, then I'll go and get busy." Li Derjian stood up and left.
"Let Luo Zhang come here." Qin Huaidao looked at Zhao Long who was guarding the door, then picked up the mutton and continued eating.
Not long after, Luo Zhang hurried over. Qin Huaidao saw that his body was dirty and his face was not good-looking, so he asked curiously: "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm used to being beaten by my father. Are you looking for me?"
"Your father often beats you?" Qin Huaidao was a little surprised.
"I beat him when I was happy, and he beat me when I was unhappy. He said it was for my own good and to hone my martial arts skills. I have to admit that my martial arts skills have a lot to do with being beaten since I was a child." Luo Zhang said with a bitter smile.
"You're still so irritable at your age. I'll talk to him later."
Qin Huaidao comforted him and changed the subject: "How is the team reorganization going?"
"The people have been assigned and we are preparing to select officers. I heard you asked me to come over and see if there is any mission?" Luo Zhang asked rhetorically.
"No mission. I have two plans for you. I want to hear what you think. First, if you come to the Guards Battalion, the Guards Battalion will definitely expand and increase in the future. I leave it to you to rest assured. Second, your team will be in the future.
To develop towards light cavalry, do you remember Shi Yeshan?"
"Remember, you mean to be equipped with a machete and be responsible for charging into the formation?" Luo Zhang asked rhetorically. Seeing Qin Huaidao nodding, he began to think deeply. The Guards Battalion is a close soldier, a confidant among his confidants, with a high status and trust, but his main responsibility is
Protecting the safety of Qin Huaidao will not lead to many battles, but leading the troops yourself is different, and you can have more room to play.
After pondering for a moment, Luo Zhang said truthfully: "I still want to lead the army."
"Okay, then follow the example of Shi Yeshan and bring out a light cavalry, equipped with scimitars, bows and arrows. You also know the training methods. The light cavalry will be flexible and fast. When attacking, they will pounce on and bite like wolves. When retreating,
They scatter like sparrows, and the three-three system training is not suitable. However, you can re-research a new fighting method based on the three-three system combined with the characteristics of the light cavalry. After the team changes, go to Li Derjian to get the scimitar."
"You came here with a machete?" Luo Zhang was overjoyed.
"Before I leave, let the craftsmen in Chashan rush to make more than a thousand sets. This is good equipment. Everyone knows that they will be jealous and say that I am partial." Qin Huaidao reminded.
Luo Zhang nodded knowingly and said solemnly: "Uncle, don't worry, I will use my strength to shut everyone up."
After speaking, Luo Zhang bowed solemnly and turned to leave.
Qin Huaidao's eyes fell on the map again. Should he fight against the three major tribes or the Qiemo Kingdom?
The yurt fell into silence again.
There were shouts of killing outside, as the troops were selecting officers.
Qin Huaidao remained motionless, concentrating on his thoughts.
…
Almost at the same time, in a cave in a certain valley.
Xue Rengui was also frowning and thinking. The cave was naturally formed, very hidden, and the surrounding terrain was dangerous, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. It was discovered by chance and became Xue Rengui's camp.
In front of it was a small bonfire with meat roasting on it. Cheng Chubi was turning it slowly without disturbing it. Cheng Chubi never liked things that used his brain.
A ray of sunshine came in from outside the cave and fell on Xue Rengui's weathered face. He was resolute and determined, but deep in his eyes shone with deep worry and guilt. He was very incompetent and had not rescued He'er for several months. He was shameless.
Trust and friendship towards Qin Huaidao.
After a while, the meat was cooked, sizzling and oily. The fat dripped on the bonfire and made an explosive sound. A burst of burnt aroma filled the air. Cheng Chubi cut off a piece of meat with a knife and handed it to him: "Eat some, take your time, it will always be done."
There is a way."
Xue Rengui threw the meat into his mouth, chewed it, and continued to think. Cheng Chubi was used to it, so he didn't bother him. He cut a large piece and ate it himself while thinking about his own thoughts.
Suddenly, Xue Rengui asked: "Tell me, what would you do if you were the young master facing the situation at hand?"
"You are trying to embarrass me. How can I have Brother Qin's skills? If you hadn't memorized the series and planned the strategy along the way, the grass on the graves of the brothers would have grown three times." Cheng Chubi said with a bitter smile.
Xue Rengui didn't answer and silently finished the meat on his hands. When he saw a drop of fat falling on the coals, exploding countless sparks and igniting the withered grass lying around, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said excitedly: "I have thought of a way."
"What method?" Cheng Chubi asked in surprise.
Even the people who were on guard around him looked sideways and pricked up their ears.
Xue Rengui did not hide it, pointed to the bonfire and said: "Rescuing people is undoubtedly taking chestnuts from the fire, which is extremely dangerous. Our biggest problem is that there are few people, so it is easy to handle. If grease drips into the bonfire, a drop of it is useless and will be burned, but
It would be different if there were a lot of drops."
"But where can we find people?" Cheng Chubi asked.
"When a drop of grease falls, it can explode a lot of sparks, igniting the surrounding dry grass. We are like a drop of grease falling on the Qiemo Kingdom. It will either burn down or explode a lot of sparks. There are many tribes outside Qiemo City, each of them
The tribe has many slaves kidnapped from the Tang Dynasty, and they must be very Turkic. As long as we rescue them, we can form a huge team, form countless sparks, and burn more Turkic people to death."
"yes!"
Cheng Chubi didn't like to use his brain, but he wasn't stupid. He knew it right away. His eyes were bright and he said excitedly: "We have killed several tribes to collect food before. Why didn't we think of this method at that time? But we didn't have time. Anyway, we are already familiar with the surrounding situation."
, we all know where there are tribes, how many tribes there are, and what their fighting strength is. Let’s set out tonight, sweep several tribes, and easily raise an army of thousands of people.”
"That's right, let's do it." Xue Rengui became energetic.
"Which one to fight first?" Cheng Chubi asked impatiently.
Xue Rengui took out a hand-drawn map. The method he learned from Qin Huaidao was not accurate and clear, but it was enough. He pointed at a tribe, quickly drew a line, and said: "There are five small tribes in this area.
They are separated from the middle tribe. As long as you are fast enough and run away after the fight, it won't be a big problem, and you can also take advantage of the opportunity to get food."
"Okay, let's do it." Cheng Chubi agreed.
At this time, a handsome and handsome young man came in. He looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he exuded a fierce murderous intention. It was Luo Ying's younger brother Luo Wu. Although he was a concubine and had the same father as Luo Ying,
However, his father died early, his family was in decline, and he was often bullied. The brothers have been united since childhood and have a good relationship.
Qin Huaidao asked Luo Ying to secretly recruit teenagers for training. Luo Ying took his younger brother with him to fight tigers. Luo Wu was influenced by his brother Luo Ying. He was also a martial arts fanatic, even more crazy than Luo Ying. He also liked the art of war. After training in Chashan
The force increased greatly and they pursued Luo Ying.
Luo Ying went to Haizhou to train troops, and Luo Wu took care of Chashan.
"Commander Xue." Luo Wu clasped his fists and saluted.
"Luo Wu is here, sit down and have something to eat, how about outside?" Xue Rengui pointed to the seat next to him, liking this young hero very much.
"We didn't find any problems when we first patrolled the camp. We just changed the light and dark sentries, so it's not a big problem." Luo Wu sat down, took out a knife, cut off a piece of meat, and ate it. They had been fighting side by side for several months, and they had already become familiar with it.
The last time he was chasing the Turkic murderer, he was ambushed by men in black and had to be rescued by Cheng Chuliang. Xue Rengui was worried that there would be a bigger ambush ahead, but Heer had to save him. In anger, he sent people to Chashan with tokens to mobilize Luo Wu and former soldiers.
On the way, they were ambushed by people supporting the Turks, but luckily Luo Wu arrived in time.
Xue Rengui waited for Luo Wu to eat a few mouthfuls of meat and said: "I just discussed with General Cheng and decided to take action tonight to sneak attack on several small tribes, rescue the slaves captured by the Turks from the Tang Dynasty, and increase their strength. What do you think?"
"Slaves into an army?"
Luo Wu's eyes lit up and he said: "I thought about it before, but considering that slaves live a difficult life and are in poor health, it is difficult to form combat effectiveness in a short time. Plus, I thought I could save my aunt, so I didn't mention it. However, the war is currently stalemate, and the murderer
Be prepared, we have suffered successive losses, and we really need to expand our army. I think it will work. In my opinion, we can also capture some Turkic prisoners to use as artillery fire. If we don't do it, there are methods of politics. The Turkic tribes are not monolithic and not united. They will pull apart in order to survive.
The swords are pointed at each other, but not too many, otherwise they will not be able to suppress it."
"This method is not bad, you kid can do it." Cheng Chubi praised excitedly and looked at Xue Rengui.
Xue Rengui thought for a while and said: "We don't have enough manpower. After rescuing the slaves, we not only need to divide the troops for training, but also have to enforce martial law and fight. Capturing three hundred Turks is controllable, but it is of little significance. If it exceeds three hundred, it will be uncontrollable and easy to betray."
, if we turn against you during the battle, we will definitely die. It is not advisable for now. When our strength reaches 3,000, we can capture 1,000 Turks as cannon fodder."
"That's right, I didn't think carefully." Luo Wu agreed.
"You two decide this matter, I will fight." Cheng Chubi also agreed, his eyes shining, and he was gearing up.
